Another thing that could happen is:

- Users want to keep using their toy and switch to OSX or
Windows.
happens all the time, in different ways. so what. user migration is a
healthy thing.
imagine all those people used to open source and honest communication
and no bullshitting, and they suddenly flood the support channels of
$YOUR_FAVOURITE_CLOSED_SOURCE_BOGEYMAN, letting them know in no
uncertain terms that they don't care if their support chat bot is a
boob-job blonde called "charlene" (don't laugh, that's what
hewlett-packard had me believe when i tried to explain to them that
their windows scanning software shouldn't be hardcoding C:\Documents and
Users\ as a home directory prefix).
rather, they will tell them that this is a one-liner and why can't it
just be fixed, like, now?
call me a nutcase, but i like this idea :D
might as well go the other way: vendor falls in love with jack so much
that s/he can't be bothered to implement ASIO anymore :)
